Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation presents significant motivational challenges for clinicians.
  • Ventilator-dependent quadriplegia poses unique difficulties in maintaining patient motivation during recovery.

Observation:

  • Patient motivation is conceptualized as a fit between the patient and their rehabilitation environment.
  • Social learning theory provides a framework for understanding and addressing motivational deficits.

Findings:

  • A theoretical model is proposed to understand and manage patient motivation in SCI rehabilitation.
  • The model was applied to two case studies involving ventilator-dependent individuals.

Implications:
